My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION

THIS IS SEYMOUR….a precocious, 14 lb, cream colored, 5-6 yr old Havanese Mix. Seymour was originally adopted from the SEAACA shelter to a family who wasn’t not right for him (he is not crazy about young children), so they gave him to us. He was then adopted from LHH to a couple without children, who told us they were never going to have children. However, during Covid they changed their minds and decided to adopt! Despite our insistence to take him to training they didn’t and he bit the child.

Seymour is a feisty dog, with energy and a little ‘tude. He is NOT a chronic biter. Doesn’t like to be surprised when you pick him up. Loves dogs, people and toys. But please don’t do something he doesn’t like or he will let you know! While he likes kids, we believe an adult-only home would be best. He has two minor issues — he can be leash-assertive (not hard to fix) and he doesn’t like to be moved without “notice.” Both situations are easy to work with, but he needs boundaries and he needs to know that he is not the boss of you! He has been shuffled around from his original home to the shelter…to another home and another home, now back to rescue. He needs training, patience and love and confidence…and he will be a model citizen. If you are not willing to do this PLEASE don’t apply.

Seymour LOVES to play with other dogs so another dog MUST be in his life. He needs to be exercised and would love to go on hikes with you or he might even be good on a treadmill! He would be best in a home with a yard, and not an apartment, as he does alert bark when he hears noises. Does Seymour sound like a dog who could run away with your heart? He’s available now 🙂

Our website is updated daily. Please do not apply for this dog unless your home fits the specified criteria. All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, groomed, vet checked, dewormed, deflea'd and come with a leash, collar and ID

If you are interested in adopting a pup from Lhasa Happy Homes, please complete the Adoption Application before calling. We will contact you once it has been reviewed.

UPDATE!!!! Lhasa Happy Homes will be now holding our adoption events most every Sunday at ROVER KENNELS on Main Street in Santa Monica (check calendar link below for special events and directions). Rover is located at 2116 Main Street, in Santa Monica, CA. Here you will have an opportunity to interact with the dogs and see which might be a perfect fit with your household. Main Street is famous for its innovative shops and is close to the beach! Make a day of it!! Metered parking on the street and free parking on 4th and Bicknell Streets.

Here you will have an opportunity to interact with the dogs and see which might be a perfect fit with your household....and do some fantastic shopping at the same time! Please do call us if you are coming to see a particular dog to make sure he/she will be at adoptions (we do not bring sick dogs to our adoption events). Please bring a copy of your application and pictures of your home and yard if we have not done a home check! Most importantly, if you have a dog, make sure you bring him or her to do a compatibility match with the dog you are interested in adopting!

Don't forget to check out our Events Calendar for more information on upcoming events!

See our home page for more details about our adoptions at Lhasa Happy Homes

Thanks for thinking rescue and adoption and for considering saving a life. It will be the best gift you ever give yourself or your family.
